The vest is made from functional materials Pertex® Quantum Air, Polartec® Alpha® Direct and high-density recycled fabric on the back panel with a Fluorine-free water-repellent treatment, which increases the material's ability to repel water and dirt. Top layer provides effective wind protection on frosty descents, but retains the high breathability you’ll appreciate during uphill climbs. Complete with practical two-way zippers made from recycled materials and recycled silicone tape around the bottom hem to multiply the insulating properties. The vest is easily packable into the back pocket of the jersey.

    Perfect

    Was hesitating between this and the classic wind vest. Went for this one and zero regret, takes only a tiny bit more space when folded away but provides way greater thermal and wind insulation (had another wind vest before), perfect for climbing in the winter or when the temperature is changing during the ride. Paired with the Alternative LS baselayer and Light LS jersey, I can go to 5°C no problem

    Exceptional

    I bought this on a whim, being a big brand fan. Exceptional fit (175lbs, 6'1, S) and warmth. Also a stylish piece with a racy, on-bike fit that I've reached for over and over in the Alps. Very cool kit.

    Great product, but too short on the back side

    In cold weather conditions below 12 degrees I opt for this piece with a thicker winter jersey. The torso is kept warm, pockets are spacious for additional jacket, tools and some snack. I am quite short 1.7m and size M fits perfect, S was too short for me. The only one exception I have is the length of the vest on the back side. Even the bigger size M is too short and does not protect lower back properly. Additional 10cm and the product would be exceptional.
